I've enjoyed cleaning it. I know every inch of this car now that's for sure. And nope, still haven't gone for milk at 1:00 am. Brought it home Monday and haven't gotten it out since. But that's gonna change come Sat.

WHAT ?

Dude, I got 734 miles on Waldo- goes to the dealer Monday for his first oil change.

I told myself that I'd only drive it on nice days and I'd drive the Impala on not so nice ones (and obviously the winter months). Well, lo and behold, it's only rained in Buffalo two days since I got it. Ok, so I'm getting off on the, "WOW !", and the "HOLY S*** !", and the, "NICE CAR DUDE !" and the thumbs up all over the place, etc... People LOVE this car- who am I to deprive them of the pleasure of seeing it?

Is it necessary to clay bar a new car?

Since I didn't let the dealer do any cleaning on the car I wanted to make sure that did everything I wanted to the first go round so after that all I had to do was maintain it. Plus, we've had showers most of this week and it's raining all day today. Tomorrow is gonna be nice though.

I'm gonna make up some miles this weekend though, don't worry.

I want to get it out for people to see too, just didn't want to until it was right.

Well, depending on delivery times from plant to you maybe not. Mine, like many others stayed in QC so long that there was a lot of water spots and a few places that looked like road tar or something that the clay bar easily took off without scratching the finish. After I did a few areas and realized how slick it made it, I decided it was worth it to do the whole car and start with a clean slate to add the Zaino to.

Thanks Hylton...........

Sorry I've been away from the forum lately.....with getting the car, work stuff and some personal stuff, time has just slipped by on me.......

Here's a few more pics I took last weekend. Still haven't broken 400 miles on her yet. We're easing through them.

Hope to get some pics of a few other cars with mine this weekend at a couple of local cruise-ins Friday and Saturday weather permitting.
